They are not necessarily the same. For example,
        http://www.columbiahouse.com/web
and
        http://www.columbiahouse.com/web/
are different.

Thus, Squid should not rewrite URLs to avoid serving the wrong page. Serving
the wrong page is probably worse than serving a stale page because stale page
can usually be "refreshed" by a user.
